• all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
• unsweetened cocoa powder
• baking powder
• salt
• Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
• sugar or a sugar substitute
• eggs
• vanilla extract
• dark chocolate chips (optional)

directions

I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a baking pan. In a bowl, I whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, I mix Greek yogurt, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. I combine the wet and dry ingredients just until blended, then fold in dark chocolate chips if using. I pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 20–25 minutes, checking with a toothpick to ensure doneness. Once cooled, I cut the brownies into squares.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 16 brownies. Prep and baking take around 35 minutes.

Variations

Sometimes I add chopped nuts or swirl in peanut butter for extra flavor. Using almond flour can make it gluten-free. I’ve also tried adding espresso powder to enhance the chocolate taste.

storage/reheating

I store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They’re delicious served at room temperature or slightly warmed.
